David Hundeyin is a Nigerian investigative journalist and author. He’s known for:
- Investigative Reporting: He focuses on uncovering stories in politics, tech, and finance, often using open-source methods. This approach has won him awards but also sparked criticism [Wikipedia: David Hundeyin].
- Founding West Africa Weekly: This is his Substack newsletter where he likely publishes some of his work [Wikipedia: David Hundeyin].
- Criticism and Praise: Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, a well-respected writer, has called him a “brilliant” investigative journalist, but his work has also drawn some criticism [Muck Rack: David Hundeyin’s Profile].
Hundeyin initially studied mass communications at Igbinedion University Edo State Nigeria before going overseas to study creative writing at the University of Hull and graduating in 2011. After working several jobs including a contract position at KPMG, he returned home to Nigeria in 2013
In 2020, he wrote an article for NewswireNGR about Globacom and the work conditions and treatment of their Indian expatriate workers.[1] After the story was published, the workers received their owed pay.[6] India Prime Minister Narendra Modi wrote Hundeyin a letter of appreciation for his journalism.[1]
He also wrote an investigative report about the potential human rights violations coming out of a proposed infectious diseases bill in Nigeria’s house of representative addressing the COVID-19 lockdown. This article won Hundeyin a People Journalism Prize for Africa.[6][7]
In 2021, Hundeyin wrote about the rape and death of a 26-year-old woman. The article and several Tweets by Hundeyin alleged that the suspect used a hotel owned by the wife of Nigerian politician Godswill Akpabio. Akpabio demanded a retraction from Hundeyin because he believed the publication gave the impression that the couple was complicit in the crime and threatened a lawsuit.[2][8]
